Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has defined his role at Manchester United.
Pogba gave his one of the worst performances of the season as Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw with Liverpool. James Milner scored from the spot after Pogba handled the ball while trying to clear a ball in the penalty box. The 31-year-old scored his sixth goal of this season and all of them have been penalties.
Zlatan once again came to the rescue for the Red Devils as he netted his 14th goal in the Premier League. He netted home from an Antonio Valencia cross. The draw left United reeling at sixth place with 40 points while Liverpool came one spot down to third with 45 points.
Pogba said, “I love playing. I feel good everywhere [on the pitch]. With everything that happened, the transfer, changing club, returning to Manchester, people want me to score, make a difference in games, because they say that at that price, a player must score, provide assists.
“My role as a midfielder is not to score. I can make a difference in games, but I have a lot of work. Defensive work, dictate play. It’s also a question of my abilities. I can also make the difference in winning back possession, in the team’s play … I have to work for the team rather than think about myself.”
